I'd be more impressed if they hadn't pulled the ad.

"I think (French bashing) is worse now than it was two years ago because, although it's not as relentless as it was, it has become a lot more accepted and part of the landscape." We have a long, long way to go to catch up to French intellectuals in terms of bashing anyone. So This Frenchman informs me in a brilliant book which I'd recommend to anyone who wants to understand just how bad it is there and just why this sort of story is so very silly.

At least they ran it initially.

OK - that decides it. I'm going to Subway for lunch tomorrow. France and chicken - going together? It's so obvious...

Everyone, come on, you know the French aren't chickens
they're more Le Cornish Hen, but not so roosterish.

Me, too. I would not want to be known as having surrendered to the French.

Shoot, that ad made me buy a few of those cordon blue sandwhiches. Everytime I go in, I would laugh so hard at the ad that the only thing I could get out was chicken cordon blue, or just point to the ad. It was ingenious.

Actually, Denis, most Americans love and admire the French. Take me, for example. The relentless French bashing is a combination of horror, at French denial that threatens the very existence of
La Belle France, and the desire to shake the French into waking up in time to save themselves.
The present state of denial and hubris in France is shocking, dangerous, and horrifying.
Those who love France are screaming at the top of their lungs: "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
Unfortunately, we are like a Greek chorus, warning those who have doomed themselves to inevitable tragedy.
The bashing is a wake-up call that is looooooooooooooooooooooooong overdue.
